Doctor Who: Dalek (Target Collection)




The Ninth Doctor adventure that brought the Daleks back to Doctor Who, novelised by Robert Shearman and based on his script for the iconic episode.


‘The entire Dalek race, wiped out in one second. I watched it happen. I made it happen!’

The Doctor and Rose arrive in an underground vault in Utah in the near future. The vault is filled with alien artefacts. Its billionaire owner, Henry van Statten, even has possession of a living alien creature, a mechanical monster in chains that he has named a Metaltron.

Seeking to help the Metaltron, the Doctor is appalled to find it is in fact a Dalek – one that has survived the horrors of the Time War just as he has. And as the Dalek breaks loose, the Doctor is brought back to the brutality and desperation of his darkest hours spent fighting the creatures of Skaro… this time with the Earth as their battlefield.

Praise for Doctor Who: Dalek (Target Collection)

Lady Diana was no ordinary upper-class English rose: She was perhaps the first person from such a background to go on the stage, wowing audiences on both sides of the Atlantic

Washington Times

Admired and adored as a classic beauty and first-division socialite during the frivolous Twenties and Thirties, Lady Diana was one of the last survivors of the set which revolved around the Prince of Wales and Mrs Simpson

The Times

One of the glittering social personalities of an era of wealth and privilege, combining as she did exceptional grace and beauty with verve and a nature of deep and intense feeling

The Times

A delightful memoir

Juliet Nicolson, Sunday Telegraph Magazine

She wrote three volumes of autobiography...books which are likely to hold their interest for a long time to come

The Times

Each reader will have his favourite passage...it is witty, original and modish and cuts a stylistic dash... She is a born memoirist

New Statesman

Poetic, idiosyncratic, poignant, funny, unflagging, scintillating, simple, stylish; not the book of the season, or of the bedside table; a book...to be read and reread and loved for a lifetime.

Evelyn Waugh
